Tho Election for fudge.

Act No. l0l of 1882, which mas been
invoked to show that it was not neces-
sary for the Governor to defer our spe-
cial election for Judge until six months
after the precincts and polling places
disarranged by the creation of the par
ish of Acadia had been refged, does not
repeal, and was not even intended to
repeal. the provisions Of Act No. So of
1877 comforting the po wer Of fixing said
polling places upon the Police Juries
and prohibiting the changing of said
polling places within six months before
an election. That being a fact, all the
)abored efforts to show that the Cover
nor has not acted strictly within the
law amount to absolutely nothing
wind. And we think we can make this
proposition plain to the most obtuse as
we'll as to the most bitter opponent of
the Governor.
Act No. l0l of 1882 clearly declares
in it's title that its purpose is to g amend
and re-enact sections 9, 6, 7, 23, SO, 80
and AZ !" of Act No. So of 1877. 1t does
nothing more. It therefore does nofre-
peal or in any manner amend, and evi-
IDENTIFY was not intended to repeal sec
tions 10 and ll-and these eery sections
clearly and nnequivocally say that the
Police Juries shall direct what num-
Der of polls viii be established and
i" shall establish as many precincts and
polling places as they may deem
necessary which precincts and polling
places, once established, /" shall not be
changed : within six months prior to
general election
Sec. S of the act of 1882 amends sec.
36 of the act of 1877 by providing that
the Governor shall appoint the return
ing officers, "who shall appoint the com
missioners of election and designate the
polling places in each election pre-
cinct;" and this simply means, and
when viewed in the light of the facts
stated above it must be clear that it was
intended TO mean, that in giving public
notice of the appointment of the COM
missioners he had named, the returning
officer should naturally also designate
tie polling places fixed by the Police
Jnry) at which these commissioners
should serve.
Happily. the Governor has had occa-
sion to construe and apply this proVis-
ion beforehand of course did so accord
ing to the dictates of reason and com
mon sense so that his defamers .hayt
not even the poor argument left that he
has construed the law just to fit this
case.n
| 1t ought not to be necessary to say
any thing more on this subject, but al

BASEBALL,
st. Louis Finds Tartar in New Orleans
Birmingham.


Special Dispatch to the Appeal.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. l0.--St. Louis
caught tartar in the local aggregation to-
day. The home battcB only got four hits
OIL CarutheS, but st. Louis only made
seven safe hits off Powell, besides two
bases on balls, and badly scattered
at that. New Orleans played without
a single error, and did brilliant fielding.
81. Louis had two errors, being made by
Caruthers and Comskey, both letting hot
grounders get away. Powell scored run
IN the third by base running that
made st. Louis look ON in adj
miration. st. Louis tied the score
in the sixth on Latham's two Dagger and
Coiniskeys single. Neither side scored
again. In the tenth, st. Louis was retired
by fine double play, and the game was
called on account Of darkness. Mcphee
made the catch of the evening running
backward, turning and pulling down u hot
liner ON the jump. st. Louis only stole
one base, New Orleans getting four
Bushong and McVey did the catching
The attendance was small.

II is proposed two years hence to celebrate
the one hUndredth anniversary of the adop-
ton of the American constitution. Would
not the best observance of that event be the
meeting Of another convention to recast our
fundamental lawi In the state of New York
there is constitutional provision that a new
convention shall meet every twenty years to
make desirable alterations in the organic law
How mech more necessary is it 10 read Just
the constitution of the United States to the
changed conditions Of our national existence!
The constitution of 1889 was made for 5000
900 of people, scattered along the Atlantic
Seacoast, east of the Allegheny mountains.
This was before the era of steam, electricity.
the cotton gin, the spinning jenny and all our
marvellous improvements in machinery and
the industrial arts. We are now mighty
nation of G0OOO,GO people. extending from
the Atlantic 10 the Pacific ocean: we are
within eight days of Europe by steam. and
are in instantaneous Communication with the
remotest parts of the earth by electricity
We have been forced from time to time
to amend our constitution, but the machinery

almost impossible to make any radical
change except during national con-
vulsion, such a civil war 1t is confessed
that our constitution has broken down in
many important respects The electoral col
lege for Instance is not al all what il was orig
inally designed to lie. We are in danger of
civil war whenever there is a closely contested
presidential election. There are tremendous
problems ahead of us, and the constitution.
which was satisfactory in the Nineteenth
century, might prove entirely Inadequate in
the Twentieth century. At any rate, it
would be no harm to discuss such reforms and
improvements as would improve the working
machinery of our government, and rectify
some of the evils that are justly complained
of. The discussion of the provisions Of onr
fundamental law would elevate the whole
tone of political life in this country. 1t
would give Us higher questions for debate in
our newspapers than those that pertain to
party politics. Why not a convention to re-
wise the constitution of the United Statesi

were strangers. As editor Of The LADIES'
Home Journal, she determined, at the outset,
her own sex that money would purchase
Mrs. Knapp is both clever and liberal As a
practical hOusekeeper she knows to a nicely
what interests and moves practical, energetic
women.
Louisa Knapp was born in Boston, Mass.
thirty five years ago. She became the wife
Of a newspaper publisher, and III 1876 re-
moved with her husband to Philadelphia
where her first editorial labor was to take
charge of the household department Of an ag-
ricultural Journal. This paper was entitled
The Tribune and Farmer. Her original
tended to a whole page, and so thoroughly
was her work done that more than 5000
women subscribers were added to that publ
cations list of regular patrons.
The first number of the magazine which
she now edits was issued in December, 1888,
and from the first its success was an accom-
plished fact.
She draws salary of 5000 per annum
Her rare intuition and administrative force
have been chief factors in her success. Her
literary work is done at an elegantly ap-
pointed home in Camden, \. J. Her CORE
spondence with prominent authors is steadily
maintained, and its results are apparent in
each new issue of Tbs Ladies' Home Journal.
